national park

Visitors to Wales' largest national park are being urged to think about how they travel to avoid parking chaos or risk being towed away.

At least 50 hippos and other large animals have been killed by anthrax poisoning in Africa's oldest national park, its director has said.

Officials say it's not uncommon for certain staff members to offer water to big cats if they get close to the boundary of the national park to lure them back into the forest.

“This degree of water pollution, which threatens aquatic wildlife habitat and public health, shouldn’t be happening anywhere, and definitely not in a national park,” said Jeff Miller, of the Center for Biological Diversity.

Mr Gregory also hopes the route will pass through the Bannau Brycheiniog national park, also known as the Brecon Beacons, as he said it offers "beautiful climbs" and is easily accessible for spectators.
